FOREWORD
1. FOREWORD
CAMA-III PTZ cameras feature advanced, state-of-the-art technical solutions the CCTV branch
provides. This instruction describes NVC-ISD322DN/NVC-ISD336DN cameras. Thanks to their
technical features and operational properties they fit both sophisticated and simple security systems.
The idea of integrated PTZ cameras is based on integrating a motor-zoom camera with a pan/tilt device,
controlled via an RS-485/RS-422 bus. Devices feature 1/4" SONY CCDs that allow efficient operation
in adverse illumination conditions. Camera's software simplifies performing tasks required in CCTV
systems, such as presets, patterns, tours, privacy zones, auto day/night switching and, finally, an
Auto-Flip feature. Cama-III devices belong to the In-Genius series which feature advanced image
analysis functions, allowing for automatic object tracking, detecting an object's appearance, object
disappearance, crossing a virtual line/entering of the virtual zone by the object, or detecting an object's
motion.

CONTROLLING CAMA-III CAMERAS

5. CONTROLLING CAMA-III CAMERA
For camera and controller communication RS-485/RS-422 (selected by micro switches
setting) link is used. For telemetry data transmission CAT5 unshielded twisted pair cable
is recommended. Only one pair of CAT5 0.35 mm cable is used for controlling the camera and
maximum distance for RS-485/RS-422 communication between camera and keyboard
is 1.200 m.
CAMA-III camera is controlled by RS-422 (two or four wires) or RS-485 standard driver. In most
cases the RS-485 standard should be used and telemetry line should be connected to RX+(TX+) and
RX-(TX-) pins.
For RS-485 the following standard connections junctions are used: camera RX+(TX+) and RX-(TX-)
join with keyboard junctions TX+ and TX-, additional cameras in the system should be connected
using the same scheme RX+(TX+) and RX-(TX-).
For RS-422 the following standard connections junctions are used: camera RX+ and RX- join with
keyboard junctions TX+ and TX- additional cameras in the system should be connected using the
same RX+ and RX- scheme.

When implementing star topology of camera telemetry lines the serial data distributor should be used

WARNING !
The camera should be powered by 24 VAC/VDC supply adaptor. The supply adaptor power output
should be greater than 20 W for camera module and 80 W for camera with additional fans and
heater.

7.1. CAMERA TERMINATION

The device which is connected at end of the line, be it a camera or a keyboard
controller, must have the communication cable terminated by setting the appropriate DIP switch (in the
CAMA-III it is switch marked SW1, SW1-1 and SW1-2 should be set to ON). Without proper
termination, there is possibility of control signal errors. Total length of the cable for communication
should not exceed 1.200 m. (CAT5 twisted pair cable).

7.2. FAIL - SAFE NETWORK
When a CAMA-III is controlled by some other device not marked by Novus, some errors may occur in
the serial communication. This is caused by the control device without the fail - safe network function.
To solve this problem set the dip switches described SW1-3, SW1-4 to ON in the nearest dome from
the control device.

To assure proper camera operation and to prevent damage, each camera must have a unique address
(ID). Camera address is set by three 10-position switches: S1 (for units), S2 (for tens) and S3 (for
hundreds) that allow to set camera address from 0 up to 999.
When installing multiple dome cameras in a system and utilizing DVR, it is suggested that each camera
address should match the DVR port number.

7.4. S4, S5 AND S6 SWITCHES SETTINGS
Switches S4, S5 and S6 are used to configure parameters such as transmission protocol, baud rate
selection, transmission standard (RS422/RS-485), parity, OSD Display standard (NTSC / PAL) and
activation / deactivation of alarm inputs and outputs.
Method of setting parameters mentioned above has been presented in the following subsections of this
manual.
7.4.1 SETTING TRANSMISJON PROTOCOL
Switches S5-1, S5-2, S5-3 and S6-4 are for setting the control protocol. The camera is equipped with
the automatic protocol detection and it is advised to leave all of the above switches to OFF (default
setting!).
Disabling the automatic detection of the protocol and settings is also possible using the switches on the
selected fixed communication protocol. Way to set the switches is presented in the table below.
WARNING !
AAT Holding sp. z o.o. company ensures cameras compatibility only with N-CONTROL, Novus-C,

CAMA-III CONTROL USING PELCO-D/PELCO-P PROTOCOLS

9. CAMA-III CONTROL USING PELCO-D/PELCO-P PROTOCOLS
NOVUS-C/NVOUS-C1 telemetry protocols have been designed and optimized for controlling
CAMA-III cameras. Using PELCO-P/PELCO-D protocols is still possible but the controlling and
programming methods are different. The biggest difference is in direct presets calling (limited to 172
presets (1~32 and 100~240)) and special functions available by calling presets number 33 ~ 99.

MOUNTING THE CAMERA

11. MOUNTING THE CAMERA
For mounting CAMA-III series camera on the suspended ceiling you have to use the special
NVH-SDHKIT adapter. For outdoor camera wall or ceiling mounting you have to use NVH-SD40EH
outdoor housing and one of three available brackets (NVB-SD40WB, NVB-SD40CB,
NVB-SD40PWB/230) which should be bought separately.
The camera can be mounted directly on flat surfaces (ceilings) without any additional mounting
adapters.
WARNING !
Entire installation process of CAMA-III series should be carried out by (or proceed under
supervision of) qualified service personnel or authorized security systems installers. Installation
process must comply with obliging norms/regulations.
11.1. MONUTING THE CAMERA ON FLAT SURFACE (CEILING)

Before camera mounting remove the camera lens protection (plastic round glass) by pressing on the
both sides of the camera (refer to the image below) and attach the bubble with cover ring using the
mounting screw.
The camera base should be attached to a structural object, such as hard wood, wall stud
or ceiling rafter that supports the weight of the camera. The minimal required load of the mounting
surface is 4.5 kg.
